IT IS A GRAND SUCCESS ! 



A great chance is here offered to men of energy 
and enterprise to make money and benefit the 
community. I, therefore, having received Let- 
ters Patent, dated Jan. 26, 1875, for a CHEESE 
MILL. 

The single Mill can be used for at least ten dif- 
ferent purposes, and the double Mill for upwards 
of twenty purposes. Every family should have 
one in order to have a nice dish of Cottage 
Cheese. It is also a very desirable and useful 
article to persons making Butter or Ice Cream, as 
it is known that Cream run through this ma- 
chine before churning will churn quicker than 
the ordinary way of pouring the cream into the 
churn. For straining Tea, Starch, Honey, Toma- 
toes for making Catsup, and Hops for Yeast it has 
no equal. It is also very useful for taking the 
juice out of all kinds of Berries, Crapes, &c, and 
makes an elegant Flour and Sugar sieve and 
Paint strainer. 



14 

The Mill with two sieves, the cue of coarse 
Wire is a Cheese Crumbier to crumb Cheese for 
Cup Cheese, and to mash all kinds of Barries for 
Wines or Jellies, and all kinds of Fruit and 
Vegetables for sauce. It is the best selling article 
out, as every one is pleased with it. It invites a 
trade and defies competition. When using this 
Mill put it on a high crock or frame, and do not 
let the Mill rest -fn anything you are running 
through, or it will not work through right. It" 
the board in the Mill should be too long cut off 
the point a little so as to make it work tight 
against the side. 

Tlie .prices of tlie mills are $1 25, $1 50 and 
tha Double Mill $2 25. 

For sample Mills send the above rates and I 

will send them by express. All my miils are 
warranted to do what they represent, and any 
infringements on this patent will be prosecuted 
to the lull extent of the law. 

Ask in your stores for my Mills. 
DIRECTIONS : 

First put the milk and cheese in a crock and 
mix it a little, then run it through the.Mill.it 
matters not how hard the cheese is scalded, it 
will become almost as smoth as cream.
